Hi guys,
I bought an old (1998) Multicam 1200x1200. The machine seems solid and goes OK, although i wish it had some sort of homing sensors. My main gripe is the ancient software, Toolpath and CASmate, that run on Windows 98.
As the carcass of the machine is sound I was wondering what it would take to use it as a base and replace the electronics for a more modern system that would allow me to use:
1- More up to date computer and software, I used Mach3 and Cut 2D with my previous CNC6040. and
2- Install some kind of homing sensors.
I know very little about this kind of thing, but terms like 'breakout board' and 'Gecko drivers' etc are a clue to me that these might be what I would be looking out for.
Any help would be great, even to point me in the right direction.
